MINT, Mojito

Mentha x villosa

Mojito mint made its claim to fame in Cuba’s world-renowned cocktail, the Mojito. This mint is much more subtle in flavour than others providing a mild and light aroma with a satisfying bite. It is an excellent garden and container companion that is an ease to grow. Great for seasoning meats and confections, and pairs well with heartier herbs such as rosemary and sage.
